Relay for Life 2019

Relay for Life 2019

The theme of this years relay was Harry Potter and the message “Be Bigger Than Cancer.” Shelby, while loving Harry Potter, also embodies that message with every aspect of her character so I thought this years theme was fitting.

My team decorated luminaries as Shelby’s Ass Kickers (although not everyone has the artistic talent that I do…..jk). In total, the University of Guelph raised $158,000 for cancer research, treatment and education this year. This breaks the all-time record for most amount of funds raised in Canadian relay for life history. If you zoom into the picture below you can see the cute cousin picture we took at Christmas. We love you Shelby   <3

Granny teaching her grandchildren how to be as hip/trendy as her


The previous two videos are video evidence of how Granny influences, teaches and loves her grandchildren! Both videos I captured were of our family trip to Montreal for the Queen concert. How fitting… OUR queen teaching us how to rock out at the Queen concert! I think Shelby out did Granny with her singing and dance skills but she did learn from the best afterall!
Xox love you Shelby,

Oak island Survivor games

Oak island Survivor games

A few summers ago Shelby came to oak island for a visit. I hadn’t seen her in so long it was great to catch up. But the highlight of the summer was when we got all the kids together and my dad set up the survivor games. The last game was the donut eating competition, where we had donuts hanging from the clothing line and we had to try to eat them without our hands. Shelby and everyone around were laughing so hard we could barely breathe, its a memory I will cherish forever.

SOUL SISTERS ⭐

SOUL SISTERS ⭐

For Christmas 2018, Shelby bought me the most meaningful gift.

I was able to name a star in the sky ⭐ I named our star “soul sisters”. Because that’s what we were, soul sisters.
